Answer 1

The new selling price for the 20x2 budget: (560,000 / 70,000) * (1+0.04)

= $8.32 per unit

The number of units for 20x2 budget: 70000 * (1 - 0.1)

= 63000 units

Cost of goods sold per unit of 20x8 budget: 210,000 ÷ 70,000

= $3 per unit

The cost of goods sold for 20x2 budget = $3 × 63000

= $189,000

Therefore, the cost of goods sold for 20x2 budget is $189,000
